Just ordered an LE lucky. Who else is ordering theirs today? Looks sweet. I don't mind the up-charge since they look like the spent it on tech. The building collapsing is cool.
Yeah I had them named different but Pinside changed it and said can't name it owners club until Stern ships them so they changed to preorder club.
I had two le’s at Msrp and let one go to the next person. Don’t need two even though prob could have made money on it. Hear mid October on LE run so that is quick. Have to pay by first.
Quoted from chickenscratch:I’d like to know what you ultimately think of BM66 and how it compares to the rest of your collection
Love my batman66. Easy to understand what to do. It’s bolted. I have owned all the top rated pins. IM is also amazing.

I think it’s around 150-200 for stern the drop ship. Paid it once because thought it was stupid to go from Chicago to Washington state back to Ohio.
Quoted from joetechbob:So just noticed this--looks like I got a prem speaker panel? Anyone else have a panel like this on their LE? How about your sub?[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
They likely just put the foam in front by accident. Take apart and remove the foam to see if you see the ring.
Quoted from joetechbob:It has the wrong speakers from what I can tell
Looks like everyone elses le speakers just foam covering. Could be wrong… they are not silver like stern pics show.
Added pinstadium lights. During attract all the lights go out and each flash so the pins flash. If you are replacing Godzilla toy the tail needs to be straight like this.

I recommend putting a twist tie around top of building lift bf lifting playfield bc it smacks down hard when you lower. If you lift it up there is a space and screw to twist it to.
Also for some reason I did a code update and when it rebooted the machine made a weird fart sound. No kidding. Weird.
Quoted from shaunpurslow:Perfect!
[quoted image]
Which one is this? Tail maybe an issue.
Don’t hook pinstadiums to shaker. Won’t work and disabled my shaker. Had to hook to top right flasher and reboot again. Had same issue on Deadpool.
Quoted from per3per3:For those LE owners who have already received the machine and put some quality games in...what are your impressions? I would love to hear more about the Premium/LE features like the building, bridge, and mechagodzilla! I have an early run Premium on order and want to hear your gameplay impressions. Is the building mech awesome?
Yeah building mech is awesome. Hole in bottom is small enough to be a challenge.
6 inch figure should fit. Sterns is 5-5/8 and a little room between glass. Will be close. I need to find one but the good one is $180. Stern should have reproduced that.
Quoted from Jamwin:Just setup Insider Connected, looking at the code on it, says .79 installed but on Stern site says .80 is current. When the machine looks for latest update it is saying .79 is current. Anyone else seeing this?
Mine did that till I registered the game.
Quoted from gambit3113:Gentlemen, I give you a proper Godzilla at home in his corner.
For any of these figures you are going to have to remove some portion of the tail for him to fit. Just not enough room back there to fit it all.

Can you include pic of box or details can’t find this on eBay
Quoted from fxdwg:Any LE owners having stuck ball issues like pictured here? Have had to remove the glass 3 or 4 times now to free it.
[quoted image][quoted image]
No issues for me in about 30 games.
Quoted from RoyalJack:I should have asked in my other question, what about over pin stadium magnets?
Yes
Quoted from Kenswift:Talked to my distributor Zach from Flip N Out today, I only have purchased 3 pins from him and I know he has a lot bigger customers who probably ordered a premium from him, but I did order mine before it was even announced. It was just a rumor. When I hit him up today I was expecting him to tell me I’m on the next round because he probably gave mine to a bigger customer but not Zach. He told me I will get it next week. This guy has been a rockstar with every pin I have ordered and I can’t recommend him enough to buy a pin.
That being said I’m super pumped now!
Yeah Zach is the best. Switched to him when my other guy raised prices above msrp and was hard to talk to because too busy. Customer service has to be number one when there are a ton of people selling the same item.
Before and after. With pinstadiums the horns glow blue which is awesome. Had to remove the guard but I think it will be okay. Ordered BANDAI S.H.MonsterArts Godzilla Ohrai Noriyoshi Poster Ver. on eBay from Japan for $250 and came in five days. Command strips on feet and twist tie over tail. It’s just enough away from side art. I use protectors when lifting table anyways.
Sooooo much better than cartoon stern version.

Are they already done with the 1st group of premiums? I had expected to be in that first run but havent heard anything yet
I believe Godzilla prem and then Elvira 40th end of month.
Quoted from gambit3113:Somebody around here said they already got their Elvira 40th the other day.
Doubt that my guy said Nov 29th production on mine.
Quoted from gamera9:Has anyone heard news on a topper?
Prob be a long while. Mando topper still pending approval.
Quoted from eyeamred2u:Wow, Mine was built on November 1st, got mine on November 4th, so hope u get it soon.
You like it? Send pics.
Quoted from McDoom:Alright, Boys!!
I just got in on a Godzilla premium!!
After playing the magnificent Pro!!
This will be my 3rd Elwin game, and I'm pumped!
Does anyone have recommendations for must-see Godzilla movies pertaining to this game?
I would love to check them out.
Thanks
First one was good. Others idk a little campy for me.
Quoted from rai:I put a little rubber dot on top of the flat plastic to divert the ball drop so the don’t go STM.
It’s fairly noticeable, I had some smaller dots but couldn’t find it. But it does a good job now the balls go to the left flipper. [quoted image][quoted image]
Are you level using the PINGUY app? Mine goes to the left.
Quoted from EaglePin:Just noticed this plastic by the bridge rests against the inner art blades with the playfield in. Probably a bit of a risk for it to scrape the art blade when lifting the playfield up. I’ll probably look to enlarge the screw hole on the plastic a bit so it can pivot that end away from the art blade.
[quoted image]
They sell art protectors. Thick plastic. Must have item to lift playfield.

Crazy stores with new code. Also love the saucer multiball. Music is better.
Maybe an error but I locked three balls in tower and played. Then later locked one ball and it said I have three and did another multiball.

Quoted from mbrave77:My guests liked tmnt as well. They could get quick multiball and see the pizza magnet work. So for novices some quick shots to see something cool. But that game frustrated the hell out of me. The crazy bounces to the outlanes all the time made me want to break the thing. Sold my LE quickly.
Yeah tmnt is sold a lot. Was going to get one but decided on jjp wonka instead because of the drain issues on tmnt. It’s beautiful thought.
I put green titan rubbers on last night and omg soooo much better. Can hit the loop better. Stock rubber doesn’t have the bounce. Plus kind of sticky so easier to catch and shoot. Putting them on my other machines. Wonka is better too. Put purple on that.
Quoted from eyeamred2u:Did you do low bounce Titans? Or Standard? I just changed out my Green Titans, family wanted Orange, works for now.
Regular

Anyone know anything on Godzilla topper? Hopefully it’s great and not plastic like stranger things. They still haven’t released mando so maybe a while. Im sure disney approval takes longer.

Godzilla shooter rods will be $180 plus $15 shipping. Art blades coming this month and rods end of month or next.
No way the topper is going to be low end 750 on this game. $200 for a ball shooter the topper will be 1000-1200. Rather have it expensive and cool than just plastic for 750.
3 weeks later
I spoke to pinside and told them an idea I had to sort pin reviews but current and past owners. Now get rid of people who played once at arcade. She said it’s been added as filter option.
Yeah shooter is crap compared to jp. I’m worried about paint coming off with oils of your hand. Like a $70 rod to me.
How would a person clear coat the egg part? I think cleared it would look way better glossy and smooth? Dip it in polymer
How would one clear coat the egg shooter rod in gloss? Do a clear coat spray can or two part mix epoxy? Brands that are the best?
Quoted from Gotfrogs:I got all excited that the topper was on display at the TWIPYs tonight but I was let down when I got close
[quoted image]
Hot wheels topper is horrible. Should be that orange track with a car or something.
Watch YouTube video on how to setup a machine. Flipnout has a good one. Normally I do it myself in an hour.
Quoted from ZAuxier:I appreciate all the feedback on my pins journey down to its final spot. I'm happy to report that it made it all in one piece (well, three actually) and is now getting updated before it's first game!
I will ABSOLUTELY be investing in a dolly next time. Would be happy to pay for the nicer version too...I can see this NIB thing becoming quite the ritual. Wahoo!
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Trick: put table next to pin like a folding lifetime table and you can put playfield on it without undoing everything. Put paint cans on back corners to keep up.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:But it’s not era accurate though. The 8” Bandai one is perfect.

Where do you buy that jet jaguar figure? Link

My new avengers premium the service button didn’t work as well. If you push super hard it works. Stern shipped me a new one. Sounds like they still have some bad batch menus left they are pushing off to people. Easy fix but for now take one from your other game until you get a new one.

I don’t get the delay on stern toppers. Needs done with game design. Sterns leaving money on the table with these custom toppers from people not wanting to wait. Jjp creates the ce topper with the game release.

Quoted from ticktockman:Here is the maximum it goes when I push the plunger all the way[quoted image]
Take off rubber tip and put a tiny bit of paper inside then put back on. Will push out a bit and work better.

Anyone having issues with it not shooting ball up to get on top of the building? No issues until 1.0. Tested fine. Did it three times so far and ball search drops it. Few games worked perfectly. Weird.
1 week later
Quoted from m00nmuppet:So, looks like GZ is finally going to be knocked out of the #1 spot in the Pinside rankings. Toy Story 4 CE flippers are spamming the ratings with reviews like, "Your family will love it as much as mine, so glad I bought one!" So it will debut at #1 next week and probably stay there while the flippers keep spamming.
I have a TS CE and it is amazing. Too expensive but amazing. Godzilla is still a much better shooter with the building and flow.
Quoted from purbeast:"TRUCK THIS SIDE ONLY"
On the opposite side he was trucking from lol.
Fedex can't read. 
When my pins come I run out and help driver before they mess something up. So many horror stories.

Quoted from greenmonk:So my Premium just got delivered on Thursday. I know with the older games (is 1 year considered old?!), the plastic under the bridge would often break, but they’ve since changed it. Well…I only have 30 plays on my new Godzilla and the bridge is already causing a crack in the plastic there. Has anyone else had this problem with their new machine. I seem to love bridge attacks, but don’t love cracking plastic pieces. Is there anything I can adjust to keep the bridge from hitting the plastic piece?
And I’ve already talked to my distributor. I’m just curious if anyone else has experienced this with the redesigned plastic piece.

Buy the metal one off pinside shops. It’s awesome. Did that right away.

Is BELTMANN the only shipping company people use to move pins not in box or is there a better option from NM to OHIO? Its a $16k pin so makes me nervous. Any suggestions from those who have done it. So you pay a pinside verified address person by check or wire and hope for the best?

Well I ordered replacement plastic set Nov 2021 just in case since the plastics were breaking under bridge. Finally shipping now. This is an in stock item and insane it should take this long! Was $220 shipped.

Good news is toppers are built and prob ship this week. I’m a topper guy and ordered one. Do agree I’d rather it be cooler and more money. Maybe put a new figure on there and dress it up. A tank. I replaced my playfield figure.
I plan to do a full video once it arrives under my YouTube channel “pinball lover”. Maybe next week.
Looking at legit Godzilla large figures in sideshow and they are $1000 alone and sold out. Could have been better but still better than the Elvira topper at $1000.
Just use fishing line instead of the zip tie if needed. I’m getting a new figure but need to know how tall it is. Die cast tanks maybe. I added toys to my Toy Story topper and it really dressed it up. Probably do a mothra or other flying figures maybe. Gold dragon
I do agree it shouldn’t need dressed up but here we are. Prob get a $100 Godzilla figure guessing 8”and large dragon for $300 and will be bad ass. Seeing mando topper in video it was cool but in person finally seen it and just can’t get to $2k on it if I had a mando still. It’s nice but expensive for what it is.
I’ll do a full video for my channel once I receive it. Flipnout ship it soon 
So the figure is exact same as in machine? I thought they made it a bit larger too? I’m thinking a larger figure I can bend down to have heat ray closer to mouth. Have to find the right figure.
going to be a crazy day getting Addams family gold, ghostbusters le with topper plus a loaded mando pro. Prob mando topper too at large discount. Wife’s like you are really getting three pins in a week?!
My topper shipped from Zach and will be here tomorrow! Just picked up a Ghostbuster LE with topper today. Go read YouTube comments on that one from 8 yrs ago bitching about it being $500 and I'd give you $150. Wait 8 yrs and see what this Godzilla topper will fetch once its done. IDK will it be rare? I think GB they didn't make many of them and was a poor seller.
good to see positive comments. I think Stern needs to real pinside and do better videos like Zach put together and they would sell a ton more. I was told by a distributor ghostbusters they only made around 100-200 max so thats why its so rare. These newer toppers I don't see going sky high as they make a lot of them normally.
Quoted from MasterBlaster:A clear elastic (silicone?) band that manufacturers use to hold action figures (and other toys) in their protective plastic could probably work. They’re very thin and nearly invisible, especially from a distance. If you could find one with roughly the same diameter, that is. They are used frequently in the toy industry, on toys that are roughly the same scale as the sculpt on that topper. The clear plastic twist ties that come in those same sort of toy containers could also work. A zip tie is much easier to source and less money though.
Fishing line you can’t see at all. Those bands you could.
Quoted from Jamesays:are those 2 screws not enough to hold Him in place ?
Tail moves so still recommend the fishing line to make it secure 100%.
Quoted from Kneissl:Too bad. I picked up a TNA recently and got my first taste of CO-OP, my youngest loves it.
How do you do co opp? Hold something down? Can’t figure it out.
Quoted from torpedo2k:Topper collection complete.
[quoted image]
How’s the mando topper? I’m ordering one soon.
Quoted from Magicmike0:One more update on the topper. I feel these 2 easy add ons really make it so much better.
You guys saw the little Mothra I added. Glad some of ya liked it. So simple but effective. I think it’s the perfect size as she blends in the background with the other monsters on the topper. Still, since it’s an actual figure it also breaks up Godzilla being the only 3D sculpt. Adds more to it. Something is just off with GZ being the only figure and everything else is flat plastics. This little Mothra really helps. Now as far as Godzilla goes, I also changed him out today. I had bought an extra Neca figure before my topper even shipped, with intention to replace it immediately. Finally got around to it today and it looks so much better. I knew it would because Trojanlaw already added theirs up there. The Neca figure(whichever version you go with) really is more chunky and fierce! The Stern one is easy to remove. It’s really just 3 nuts, pull the platform. I believe from there you can remove the bolts from inside the head, but so far I just left those. Can’t really see them with the lights out, and the one up front kinda holds the Neca figure from sliding forward. I may mess with that more.
I think by simply adding these 2 figures, this topper is really starting to cook! It wasn’t bad to begin with, but IMO this really helped it become more awesome. Stern did a fantastic job with the light show up there.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Which mothra and Godzilla figure did you use?
I hate superbands. Titan all the way. You have to stretch the rubber before putting on especially slings and flippers. Just take with both fingers and pull on it a bit in all directions. Never had one break.
